Millicent smirked. 'Isn't things always special and strange with Verity?' she asked, though immediately regretted it. 'Sorry that was uncalled for.' It was best to remember that Daphne could not be trusted, and might very well tell Verity what she'd said.
She smiled instead as Daphne went on, looking back to the shelf and thinking what she'd need soon enough. 'Did you hear that he's building us a house?' she asked, oddly proud of that fact. It would be theirs - for their family - and not owned by Miles. Even if he was a better landlord than the previous one.
